Swapping mount studs to bolt on Differential

Have to drop my tranny here in the new few weeks and want to swap out the studs in the diff cover to bolts to make R&R easier. What bolts do I need to buy and would lock washers be suggested as well? Found these? https://www.belmetric.com/12mm-c-2_1046 ... 3t9b8nk785

Thanks in advance!

Doing this stud to bolt conversion has saved me endless hours of hassle on Z's and 510's.

They are M12 x 1.75 threads in the diff covers for R160 and R180 you got that right. Lock washers are required.

Just measure the stud threads and get a bolt the same length. 30mm is probably just fine.

Agree - did this, and the last time I had to remove it - it was so much easier. Highly recommended...
